Barcelona’s Franck Kessie yet to open up to Juventus move

Juventus are keen on signing Barcelona’s Franck Kessie but the midfielder is yet to open up to the idea of joining the Bianconeri.

Gianluca di Marzio has reported that over the last four days, contact has taken place between Barcelona and Juve for Kessie to understand the potential ways to thrash out a deal. The Bianconeri would like to sign the Ivorian on an initial loan deal with the option to buy.

But as things stand, Kessie is yet to open to the idea of moving to Juve and returning to Italy. He is yet to make up his mind about whether he wants to leave Barcelona or not and as things stand, he is not keen on leaving. If he opens upto the move, talks between the two clubs could start.

The Bianconeri will look to move for the ex-Milan once they sell the likes of Arthur, Denis Zakaria and Weston McKennie.
